Abstract: A sanding belt for use on a rotating drum, is anchored on the drum by means of an elongated strip of sandpaper having a length slightly less than the circumference of the outer surface of the drum. The drum is made of a resilient material, such as rubber, and is adapted to be coupled to the chuck of a hand held power drill. The sandpaper strip is positioned between the outer surface of the drum and the inner surface of the sanding belt with the sandpaper grit of the strip being in contact with the sanding belt thereby preventing edgewise creep during utilization.
